"Yesterday, a story was posted comparing the graphics of the Wii to the GCN with the comment, "For those who still don´t get what 'basically a gamecube' means."

Jaggies aside, there are a lot of visual problems such as absence in depth of field shadows, realistic lighting, and volumetric fog ? all things that do attribute to immersive gameplay."
